THE NEW PITCHING RULES
REPREsENTATIVE PROFESSION
AIS PRONOUNCE


The new pitching rules have been
roundly condemned by the baseball
profession and lively revolt is threat
ened. l. ia asserted that the pitchers
will cause the repeal Of the rules by
allowing themselves to be bstted 80
hard that the fielders can make no line
plays, or else the pitchers will give the
players bases on all bale, to the dis
gust OF the patrons Of the game. A
number OF players have been inter
viewed, and the following are selected

"Under thess rules the pitcher is
the leaet important player on the

take the position required and throw

FRANCE AND GERMANY.
The Arrest OF n French Oficer Creates
Sensation.

PARIS, April 22-M. Schnabeles, the
special French commissary at the Pagney
Sur Moselle depot. has been arrested by
the Germans He had received several
letters from the German Police Commits
sioner at AIRS asking him to come to that
place and confer with him regarding
frontier service. He finally agreed to do
so. While on his way to AIRS he was
seized by the German police and taken to
Noveant, from which place he was sent
to Metz. The Meter Zeitung says his
arrest is due to his connection with the
anti German agitation conducted by the
patriotic leagues, but the people Of the
Pagney Sur Moselle declare this to be
untrue and say he had nothing to do with
the agitation. The incident has thrown
the inhabitants of Metz and Nancy into
the widest state of excitement.
The arrest of M. Schnabeles has pro-
duced profound sensation and it is fear.
ed may lead to unfortunate results. LIE
Paris calls it another provocation," and
asks il Bismarck is seeking causes belli.
The German officer requested Schnabeles
to set up one of the posts which mark the
frontier lines. The Commissary crossed
the boundry and advanced few yards
on German soil, where he was seized by
the German police agents, who were dis
guised in gray blouses. He knocked the
agents down and escaped back to French
territory, was again seized, handcuffed
and sent to Metz, where he was placed in
the prison in which accused persons are
confined before trail.

CONFESSED THE CRIME.
The Murderer of Louisville Girl Tolls
the Story Of his Crime.

LOUISVILLE, April 25.--The brutal as.
sailant Of Jennie Bowman, the white
domestic who was so horribly and fatally
beaten up by burglar in broad daylight
last Thursday, has been captured. The
arrest was made last night, and the guilt
OF the man surely established by his own
confession The miscreant. who is n
hurley negro named Albert Turner was
mt once taken to Frankfort, fearing
that he would be lynched here. Had
the details Of the capture become pub
lie last night, the negro would have
been hung by mob before morn
ing, so incensed are the people at the
outrage. The sight Of the bloody evil
dence of his crime was too much FOR
Turner when confronted with them, and
throwing up his hands he cried out II
done it, but ! couldn't help It," He
broke down completely and soon told the
awful story. He said he had gone to
the house for the purpose Of robbery and
and ransacked several rooms when Miss
Bowman came in. The brave girl seized
him at once, he said, and he could not
get away from her until he struck her on
the head. He knocked her down, but
she sprang up again and struck him with
q glass. He caught up poker and
struck her again and again. but the glass
was shivercd ON his head and hands before
she was overpowercd. He then said when
she fell for the last time he ran out the
back way and escaped, having already
placed the bureau key, handkerchief and
stockings in his pocket The key he
threw away - short distance from the
house, and this was found by some boys
who had carried IL TO the police The
girl still fingers at the point Of death with
kipht hopes of recovery.

lncendiarisIn.

MONTEREY Cal, April "a. The arrest
of Il. L, NJ Simmons in connection with
the burning of the Hotel Del Monte did
not cause surprise TO the people of Mon
terey, as they have looked for his arrest
for several days past. He was, yesterday,
brought down from San Jose. He was
taken before Judge Westfall, and inform
ed of the charge pending against him.
Mr.. Simmons stated that he desired until
Monday for preliminary hearing, at
which time his counsel would be
ready to proceed. Judge Westfall
granted him the desired time and
remanded him to custody. 1t is
stated that the officers have a clear case
against him, and several other arrests
will be made in few days in connection
with the burning of the Del Monte. 1t
has been known for long time that Mr..
Simmons lived far beyond his salary.
The fact now comes to light that he was
a defaulter in the east, was tried, con
victed and sentenced to five years in
State prison He served two years and
was pardoned out. Shortly after he came
to California and secured a position AS
head book-keeper at the Del Monte. He

Lieutenant DanehoSSer ofthe Artic Ex-
petition Kills Himself.

ANNAPOLIS, Md, April 20. Lieut. John
W, Danhower, the arctic explorer, shot
and killed himself at the naval academy
Yesterday. He had mental trouble after
he came back from the arctic region.
Danehower was discovered at ten o'clock
In his quarters at the naval academy With
a bullet hole In his right temple. The
reason for the suicide was thought to be
mental trouble over the fear OF a
court martial for running the
Constellation ashore while on his
way back from Norfolk In charge OF II.
He leaves wife and two children. He
was born thirty-seven years ago IN Illinois
and entered the naval service In 1886, He
was attached TO tho, Vandalia on her cruise
In the Mediterranean in 1876, when Gen.
Grant took his family on board to visit
the Holy land. Prior TO this. IN 1870, his
mind had been effected, and he was for
about two months confined In st. Eliza.
beth's insane asylum In the District OF
Columbia. He was among the first OF the
officers who volunteered to go upon the
Jeanette arctic expedition. Melville and
Danehowcr were the only officers who

TO Danehower's fine seamanship and
handling Of the whaleboat, notwithstand'
ing his partial blindness. that the safe
landing OF the crew was due.
